With the advent of Japan's aging era, there is a shortage of couriers in the Japanese express delivery industry, resulting in "service degradation", and experts believe that there is an "express delivery crisis". Recently, logistics researchers from Japan’s Meiji University, Tokai University, Kanagawa University and other universities visited Cainiao Network’s Future Park in Wuxi, hoping to learn logistics technology from China.
On May 31 this year, Cainiao released its IoT strategy and a future park based on IoT technology at the Global Smart Logistics Summit. IoT technology can realize the connection of various logistics elements and accelerate the process of logistics digitization and intelligence. This release immediately attracted worldwide attention.
In the future park, the professors visited the robot work area. Here, more than 500 robots work together in division of labor, move quickly and orderly, and complete automatic handling and other tasks. In addition, from picking to packaging and distribution, all are completed by automated equipment. In addition, the management in the future park will also be intelligent. "Here, every camera can calculate independently, and every device has sensors." Zhu Lijun, a senior algorithm expert at Cainiao Network, said that everything from reading water and electricity meters in the park to parking space management guidance and identification of personnel violations is automatically performed by IoT devices. Finish. At present, this park has been put into use and continues to provide efficient logistics services to consumers in the Yangtze River Delta.
Mito Saito, a professor at the Department of Economics at Kanagawa University in Japan, said that although Japan is currently working on technologies such as warehousing automation and vehicle autonomous driving, it will take time for practical application. Cainiao put a variety of leading technologies into practical use in the future park, which made the professors see the hope of saving the Japanese logistics industry. "We came to China, hoping to learn from China's e-commerce and express delivery, and find a solution to the Japanese express delivery crisis." Lin Keyan, a professor of circulation information at the Japan School of Distribution Economics, said.
